Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

That kind of thing can't be resolved in just a few words.

She didn't bring it up again, but pointed to the location and said, "Let's get back to your matter."

"Yes, please go ahead."

Itachi remained as polite as ever, but his tone carried a hint of aloofness.

Tsunade said, "We've temporarily alleviated your physical problems by transplanting cells, but you should have noticed that your condition isn't completely cured yet, right?"

"Ah."

Itachi nodded.

His vision has improved, from being extremely blurry to now being close to normal.

This state of affairs...

It's been a long time since I've experienced this.

Itachi said, "My problem is probably incurable."

“It’s not actually a terminal illness. I’ve seen your symptoms, and I’ve also been researching them these past few days. They are indeed related to your Uchiha clan, but they’re not incurable.”

Tsunade then explained Chiba's explanation.

If it were anyone else, Itachi probably wouldn't believe it, but Chiba, that guy's mental power is so strong that he can directly bypass Tsukuyomi and freely enter and exit the Tsukuyomi world.

He listened and pondered at the same time.

After thinking for a while, Itachi said, "Lady Tsunade, shouldn't someone as sinful as me be sent to hell as soon as possible?"

"Perhaps your choice was not correct, but you had no other choice at the time."

Tsunade said, "From your perspective, you've done your best."

"As a survivor, I can certainly say that."

Itachi stared at the ceiling and sighed softly, "Lady Tsunade, please don't try to persuade me anymore. My only thought right now is to wait for Sasuke to come back, and then..."

"Actually, you're being quite unfair to Sasuke."

Tsunade crossed her arms and said, "All along, you've been judging what Sasuke should do from your own perspective, and you've never asked him what he thinks."

"It does not matter."

“This is important to Sasuke, Itachi. You never thought about how important you are to Sasuke.”

Tsunade said softly, "No matter what, you still have to see Sasuke, so try to recover as much as possible before that. Maybe going out for a walk after your surgery is completely over would be a good option."

"Completely over?"

The weasel didn't understand the meaning behind the words.

Tsunade said, "You still need to undergo a mental surgery, which will be performed by Yamanaka Inoichi and Yamanaka Ino. You should be able to recover some of your health after the surgery."

"I see."

Itachi was slightly taken aback.

Konoha's medical ninjutsu has actually advanced to this level?

This……

He hadn't truly returned to Konoha for many years and was completely unaware of the changes that had taken place there.

After a moment's hesitation, Itachi said, "Lady Tsunade, may I wander around Konoha?"

"Yes, Konoha is safe. Even that creature cannot get in."

"He was absolutely blown away."

Itachi said, "I don't know his exact origins either. The Akatsuki organization rarely discusses other people's pasts. It seems that guy has existed from the very beginning."

"Chiba suspects he might be a clone of Madara. What do you think?"

"A clone of Madara?"

Itachi was somewhat surprised.

Then, after thinking for a moment, he said, "So that guy really wasn't the real Uchiha Madara?"

"This is our current guess. We also have a suspect for his true identity: Uchiha Obito, who died at the Kannabi Bridge more than ten years ago."

"Obito?"

Itachi thought for a long time and finally vaguely remembered such a person.

Uchiha Obito.

The Uchiha clansman whose image is engraved on the Monument to the Fallen Heroes is said to have awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan in a single breath before his death.

He thought for a moment and quickly realized the reason behind Konoha's guess—

"Could it be that Kakashi-senpai..."

"Yes, he also possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan, and he has awakened the ability to manipulate space and time."

Tsunade nodded.

Itachi understood: "The abilities of the Sharingan are generally complementary. Although they may not have completely identical attributes, the ability in terms of space and time should be unique."

"Back to that guy, we suspect he's another clone of Madara, but there's no evidence yet, and Obito might also be under Madara's control."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, he must have been willing to do it himself, otherwise he wouldn't have come to release the Nine-Tails in the early years."

"I understand."

Itachi frowned.

After learning the whole story, he vaguely understood the trajectory of that guy's series of actions.

This is no coincidence!

That guy was indeed intentionally arranging them, wanting them to combine into a new eternal kaleidoscope.

Itachi originally planned to launch a surprise attack on Obito at the last minute.

but.

Looking back now, it seems highly likely that my original plan will fail.

Leukocytes.

The amplification of this thing to eye power and Sharingan far exceeded his imagination. The space-time manipulation and Izanagi used by Obito were probably also more powerful than he had imagined.

Itachi slowly exhaled: "It's incredible that you have so much information. I thought I had enough."

"By chance, coupled with some of Chiba's speculations, to be honest, none of the rest of us would dare to make such a bold conjecture."

Tsunade smiled and said, "Make bold guesses and verify carefully. You can try it too."

"I will, thank you for your guidance."

The weasel bowed slightly.

He chatted with Tsunade for a while longer, and then Tsunade left the Anbu, and he followed her.

Once outside—

Upon seeing the bright, dazzling sunlight, the weasel felt somewhat uncomfortable.

It's been a long time since I've had such clear vision!

He secretly walked half a circle around Konoha, and for a moment he couldn't believe that this was Konoha.

Konoha is now ridiculously wealthy.

Shops were everywhere, and street vendors lined the streets and alleys.

The guards wouldn't drive them away; instead, they would let them set up their stalls in an orderly fashion so as not to affect other people's businesses.

The villagers were no longer afraid of the guards.

On the contrary, everyone was chatting and laughing, and they could exchange a few words with each other.

Is this what the current security detail looks like?

He couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Unbeknownst to him, Itachi found himself back in his familiar surroundings—

Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan is gone, but this place remains.

but……

what is that?

Itachi paused, taken aback.

He saw a temple on the other side of the lake, from which came melodious bell tolls and chanting.

Buddhist temple?

but.

How could there be a Buddhist temple in Konoha, especially not far from the Uchiha clan's territory?

He instinctively walked in that direction.

Halfway there, he realized that he was still in the appearance of an ANBU member, so he quickly used a transformation technique to disguise himself.

Once inside...

There are quite a few monks here.

The monks' attire was basically no different from that of the Fire Temple.

Are these people ninja monks from the Fire Temple?

"Esteemed benefactor, have you come to burn incense and pray to Buddha, or to draw lots for guidance and relief from your troubles?"

"Uh, I'm just browsing."

Chapter 348 Go back? Unless the Tsuchikage is replaced!
